My curriculum for next year!

Ooooh, I had some time to myself to do some homeschool planning!!!!  Steve ended up taking the kids to the beach (2.5 hours away) at Corpus Christi all day on Friday.  I spent half the day doing wash and the other half planning our school for next year!  Wow, what a relief.  In the past, I've had to fit this in during the wee hours of the night.  What a difference it made to do it during a weekday and during daylight. 

And, now I can start our week post-Spring-Break school not behind!!   I didn't say, "ahead", most likely because I'm not sure what that looks like, but wow, not behind is awesome!

While I was surfing the web during my planning I came upon a wonderful website for homeschoolers.  The Homeschool Helper: http://www.homeschoolhelper.com/index.html

My plan is coming along really well so far....
